I liked the prequel more, but this kicks.
AUA
(srsly, music rocks. rest very MFXish but (or because of that?) good :)
(and what's it with cubes nowadays? ;)

What a blast !
Ten times thumbs !
Ten times thumbs !
Debris enters tanks. This one rocks.
i'm not sure what to think about the war-against-terror theme but the cube-tanks are awesome!
I've heard the same music so many times before! Is it a remix, rip or something?
As for the demo...it was repetetive and boring, and nothing new.

You have weapons
:) Cube Tank & mfx stylE
Nice tanks!
mfx style with a message. well done.
Massive! I elways enjoyed "Ultimatum to Poland", so I'm happy to see that you made some kind of a sequel to it. One of the very few demos where the combination of photos, video and realtime actually works. Bitch's tune is great, too. Congrats!
rulez... impressive staff
the soundtrack is absolutely excellent.
what everybody except Shane said.
awesome!
mfx meets stravaganza :D
nice prod, looks good

in your face...hehehe
Nice
Great demo
look mommy there's an airplane up in the sky.
I LOVE TANKS!
Great, but too many overlays i think.. the tank rocks, the music goes well!
the whole thing with charts, speech, flags etc didn't do it for me. but the tanks, the choppers and the music are worth a thumb.
nice, really :)
god bless mfx!
the music is perhaps the best piece of "scene d'n'b" since lug00bers "out the exits" -- ace, ace, ace. :) the demo it a little repetitive, but the moment when the tank first appears is _massive_
kb: cubes are the new pink, didn't you get the memo? :)

woohoo! \o/
Angry!
boring
yeah :)
best tank ever!11
Great job dudes. Played loud, the music would itself make the whole building to collapse :)
The track is earfuck beyond the Geneva convention, though the rest is pretty standard. That said, I stilll prefer Ultimatum 1.
Anything that sticks an american flag on my screen = insta thumb down! It didn't do anything for me anyways regardless of the flag, tank was nice yeah, but that music and the general feel of the demo just didn't grab me. Which is a shame as i love previous prods like Aether etc.
the tank was teh best =)
mfx quality
fucking demo mfx
actually not really my cup of tea but after watching it for the second time, i think it's good enough for a thumb up
- over-sharpened edges kinda suck, thus looked better/dirtier on the stream
- i'm not sure about the charts-stuff
+ best dnb track ever in a demo
+ uber-cool tank
+ atmoasphere
so in sum this gives a big thumb

good dnb soundtrack and I think this is so f***ing truth about US goverment
owned bad, especially the music, the tank and the monkey speech.
this demo fucking KILLS!
thumb for actually addressing something relevant for a change. although i'm not really sure about the pretty trivial 'bass in your face' approach. also: is it me or what's with all these charts? seems like a rather random google image search to me -- which kinda blows when the overall message is a political one. but anyway, the rest is top-notch mfx overdoze ... and i'll always fall for that :) !
Good timing, saw the demo just after watching this:

this demo still kickin' ass. really cool
Great demo! A cube tank!? How can someone ask for MOAR after a cube tank!!!
Anyone who liked the music should also check out...
Intense Pattern
It's basically the same soundtrack to my ears!

good music, fresh tank and the mix of audio and visuals work very well most of the time
shane: applying for the moron of the year award again?
good soundtrack
Tank + helicopters.
sotakone2? :)
For me this demo is only a big mess (and i don´t like political statements in demos).
Way too little content. But thumbs up for the kickass soundtrack, manly tank and mandatory post-processing :)
brilliant!
excellent! could have been a jml demo!
This is so great! One of the best demos ever. =)
ok. a bit boring all in all. the tank is quite cool, but the rest is not that great for me.
The overlays were annoying as hell, but the rest was ace!
Great track!
![[self-ban]](https://content.pouet.net/avatars/intro.gif)
brilliant it is
loved the music and the strong appearance.. the tank scene was shown for too long in the end.. still really cool (video pleaze!;)
Clichéd-to-the-max theme, but very well presented.
Boooooooooring. How could this demo win? ... the tank was cool... but thats all...
the tank is well done, the rest is chaos and hectic, msx sux a lot!
Didn't impress me that much.
music is kick-ass, few of the angles on the tank is great, rest is not my cup of tea .. so pretty much 1 looooooong scene, piggy
Precisely what gloom said.
me like! esspecially the awesome soundtrack!
AUF DEINE FRESSE
good concept
Wow! I didn't expected to like it so much. It's rockin. The harsh music, war statistics, sync, crazy cubes tank! Definitelly in your face!!!
Brilliant. Well done mfx.
very good! funny, it's kinda like jml demo but much better quality :)
best cube-monster ever
Not my deal.
sorry, i know, democoding and design needs a lot of time. thumbup for your work. But anyway, for me, this demo sucks. I can't believe, why this demo is the winner demo !
np: bong-ra - whore of babylon ;D
expected more from mfx... 10.7 MB of netgrab video and charts.. only two effects repeated for infinity. the music rocks alot, though. that really saves it. but how the hell could this get first place? the voters must have been drunk..
a bit boring. don't like the music as well.
some more scenes and this would be some of my new alltime favorites.. but as it is now, it just leaves a feeling of missing something..
rules for the message.
Art used to open peoples eyes?
the theme + the sincronisation. nice,nice.
slugish here on P4_3.2Ghz +ati 9600, just on the cube-renderer parts...

Simple, but very well executed ...
a demo with balls.
*amazing*. One of the best demos of the year, I simply adore the colors, sound and particle blast. Congratulations, trully well done !!
waq
The message does absolutely nothing to me. But I second Navis on the visuals.
Respect
Do not miss textures directory, it can be viwed as a slideshow :)
damn overlays. is it possible to get a "no overlay" option? massive feel and greatness here, though a bit skeptical to the "intro" of the demo, seems a little 'fast' ? else top-notch graphics, feel and tempo.
The Best O_o--b
Yes. The best cube modelling.
good visuals but the concept? no.
quality! This si teh real martial artz
this is a tank of a demo.
esp. the music kicks.

oh there was very nice work done with this video.
i've never seen such a hq-capture of a demo.

Just love the greeble based vehicles, the audio and the overlayed videos.

the sound, the visual, the message !
hmm
awesome music, but the rest is crap.
politics are fun but I think demoscene releases should not be doint it. and there is too much video and the music was horrible IMO (even if the visuals were pretty synched to it). Kudos for the video tho.
Tank/choppers were cool, music rocks.
I really don't like politically themed demos (or videos in similar style), I think it turns cliché awfully fast.

ruling soundtrack, nice tank, a bit boring
To much scanned pictures, your graphic artist sucks.
Incredible music, but extremely boring visuals.
AMERICA THANKS JOB WELL DONE :D
MASSIVE! The overlays and little variation spoil the fun a little bit, but still. MFX are back!
zomb: bring back the manly demo-art ;)
that's one awesome tank! ups for the tank! the tank rules!
i think there could've been more explosions. and craters, i missed craters.

best demo evah
mfx.
I like this - a bit repetative but not enough to make me want to watch it over agian -- rulez!
Great one, one of the tree best releases this year
I like it (the epileptic direction), and I don't (political demos suck).
great work! i love the soundtrack :)
nice.
I like the drawings in it, but because its a demo you could use more different newspaper graphics and drawings because they flash a couple of times through my eyes :D.. very nice
Is a (really cool) cube tank enough to be a demo?
yeah!!! Killer track!
yes!! go usa go!! ;)
to hell :p
too hectic for me
good
thumb up for political statement demo, thumb down for everything else. Usual Mfx (tm) "flash, flash, crap crap" visuals
For the cube tank and making an anti-war-statement.
Not sure about the charts. But the overall atmosphere is awesome.
Fucking ace!
indeed
Seems like Unclex still hasn't seen a shrink, which I already suggested twice after "L'art pretentieux" and "The ballet dancer" :)
Thumb up for trying something different although it's not my piece of cake. Dunno how but I somehow managed to ignore the political aspect of the demo :)

hm i didn`t like the mfx style... for me its to boring to watch a stupid tank out of cubes. technically its maybe really great ! but i think its dammed boring stuff ! sorry
what rarefluid said
Love MFX innovative style!
Great message.
Awesome tune also, Bitchard you are the man.

this is why the OpenXML file format doesn't get the ISO recommendation
me likes.
Especially those black tiny particles that goes out of the tank. And the blasts are really nice composed with music, which is ace (even If I don't prefer DnB genre). The only thing which ruins some scenes is an overusage of charts. Or maybe you had not too much of different charts. Anyways - well deserved thumb up.

war - machine! nice track.
excellent
\o/
I haven't seen the demo but I heard it's good!
Hmm...
Babylon = confusion. MFX = truth.
Not my cup of tea...
1st place WTF.
The tank was okay and deserved to be shown for about 15 seconds. Instead we get it for 5 minutes intermixed with video clips and news clippings. Uhh.
Is this supposed to be a political statement or something? The only time I could tolerate that in a demo is if it was actually saying something new or interesting. Which this isn't.

Too repetitive. Need more than tanks, choppers, and stuff.
Greate music for sure! And nice atmosphere but after a while I started to think "ok, where is the next scene? Take me a step further plz"
It felt like the beginning of something and compared to for example deities, it felt uncomplete.
The music saves it from a piggy (when I compare it to other mfx demos, otherwise it is a clear thumb up).

Really nice track, then same as Ant and Happy-H.
The Einstein citation is great.

Gave me a slight headache though :)

tune rocks, everything fits, great demo.
one scene demo, quite boring, but music rocks this up to thumb.
I like the idea and obviously the cubes effect with the sharpen shader :D
I think thats it's good to have ideologies in demos, after all, demos are another expression method!!
.... but a little bit repetitive for me :P
... but overall is OK!

seems a little short on content. Can't say I find the political message interesting.
You gotta love that tank!
yeeah :) MFX powa :)
what the heck?! this year has had bunch of great demos made. normally i'd have said that it's the demo of the year but now it can only be one of the best demos made this year :)
=)
music was nice, also loved the epilepsy feeling :)
And again a too overrated mfx piece of crap. How can this win the party compo?
I just can't believe what the scene is going through. People wake up!

No fighting in the war room!!
me likes. awesome dnb tune and great tank. + for using videos with explosions. The excel charts are a bit daft though. Especially when you have two different framed charts on screen and one chart scrolls a bit up and down while the other scrolls left and right. :)
Waiting for the Patreus testimony remix!

One of the best soundtracks this year.
One of the shittest soundtracks this year.
Rofl?! how could anybody say this one has "one of the shittest (wtf?!) soundtracks this year"?!?! Because DNB is not your kind of cookie? So stupid man... soo~o stupid!
Heres my thumb for the great soundtrack and the audio/video symbiosis... though, Bush is the least person id like to see/hear in a demo ;)

I don't think that is one of the soundtracks of the year, simply because exits another ones that i prefer, because i prefer another bitchard tracks, and because i remember too many other songs of demoscene artits in certain moments.
Anyway... a brainstorm image demo... not so bad, not so good...

This is full of Tom Clancy - 9/11 kitch goodness!!
Loved the cubetank and cubecopters, also the sharpen filter created an interesting effect with the visuals, the rest was so-so, mostly because of overusing the same scene again and again. Piggy.
I love the political statement. Music is OK, nothing from another world, but it like it. I love the fast paced images and effects, and the tank rules.
It feels somewhat repetitive over the end, but overall a thumb.

A bit too repetitive, but music leads it well.
almost enough to give someone a seizure.
the music too.

Quite a statement by MFX. It's loud, honest and in-your-face, but somehow I have grown a bit tired of these political manifestos that seem to prey and feed upon the stupidity of a certain "world leader". Also, I'm a bit tired of d'n'b (sorry, el-bee), so all you get is a pig. A nice pink one.
omfg!! I actually like a mfx-demo.
Good work!
Klötzchen FTW!

Nice but it's not my cup of tea.
Perfect synch, music suits the demo, nice cubethings and so on. Gets a little bit too repetitive though so piggy.
<3
yeah, i like it!
Good one with Great Music
Yikes!
Pure kickassness!
the pics with statistic info were lessening the strength of this demo. it would have been a lot better without those. the music should've been more harsh and aggressive. the tank was cool.
felt more like a jumalauta demo than a mfx demo.
for fucks sake.

Probably the best demo-soundtrack EVER (seriously!)! Severe FUCKINGS to scene.org awards for not even nominating this for best soundtrack! Been listening to this on repeat 40 times today. Its a good thing demo itself is very mediocre and repetitive. If the visuals had ruled just as hard as the music this demo would give me spontaneous orgasms at a rate leading to heart attack and certain death.
the cube tanks + helis look absolutely gorgeous. music is truely outstanding. statistical graphs jpg's were really distracting, but this can be worked around by converting them to 2x2 pixel images.
the demo plainly rulez then.
thanks for "a job well done" !

This demo is what vj sets shoud be
The tank part is awesome but the rest is completely cliché.
The "message" beats a dead horse, and that's upsetting me.
Demo and political statement: a dangerous mix.

I agree with Untel, except I wasn't that impressed by the tank.
Yeah, the tank looks cool and the music rules... however, the excessive flashing hurts my eyes, the political message was worn out even by the time of the compo, and there's just too much repetition for my taste. Do not want!
<3
The anti-war message ruins for me completely this demo. Stay clear of politicism, people. Anyway, great music and tank. Also too much statistics and other shit like that.
current issues colour our feelings, so it's an atmosphere that cannot be created without some politicism.. probably best to avoid it most of the time, but I'm content to allow it to slip through for effect sometimes.
!
Well it definitely rules for me! :) Despite, like Gajin, I usually dislike "political" demos.
het dendert maar voort
Video grabs and sound clips made it feel a bit like a wild demo. Music is good, but visuals are too repetitive. The thumb is for having courage to make a political statement.
This is really cool.
Obama!
oh, the power of nightmares. to all the people who want politics to stay away from demos: fuck you and your dragons!
superb demo and the message is good =)
cool one
music+fx+nowar=yes
what the hell was i thinking giving this a piggy .. when you're feeling angry, this shit goes right in the face of your boss! ..
.
dnb!
desert (bad) dream...
strong
Nicely put together but not really my style, I guess.
I thought so too, but it grows on you
where the fuck is my thumb.
what Noby said, massive, great soundtrack! :)
war is bad, mmkay?
\o/ screamingly gritty track and matching visuals. Love it - have been watching this prod many, many times! Here, take another thumb-up!
.
KNOCKDOWN!
The tank by which all other tanks are measured.

Jesus, YES!
Firsst demo I have seen on the BIG screen on Breakpoint 2009. Fantastic memories.
Oh, so this is what that scene in Field Trip referred to!
a little too much use of videos for my taste but the atmosphere and message came up very clearly. oh well, its mfx.
Qube-solid. Now, what about B.O-Bomba?
Very nice.
Graphs, tank, helicopters, photos, awesomish music... and sense - yeah, and that's the best in this demo.

missing a thumb up, so here we go...
forgot to thumb this back then... anyways, come to think of it: isn't 2007 a bit late for criticizing bush? :)
smoking evidently hot
what closed said
nice!
ugly.
Awesome! So simple - so good.
...A job well done.
The most powerful demo ever done!
The direction is great and the music is quite energetic.
